Getting multiple kills with a single bullet since the bullet passed through
one enemy and hit the other(s). Originated from the military term for unintended consequences of military operations.
In some shooters, this is either completely impossible or only possible under certain circumstances. For example, you can only get collateral kills in Splatoon 2 with charger-class weapons.
In some shooters, certain weapons might still qualify for collateral damage despite having splash damage. For example, the Spartan Laser in
Halo qualifies for collateral damage because the laser can
pierce through players.
Alternatives:
Pierce Kills, Penetration Kills, Chain Kills,
One-Bullet Combos, X Birds with
One Stone/Bullet
Shortened: Collateral

Oh, baby a triple! Oh yeah! And that was my triple collateral in Free-For-All.
(custom example)
Would you believe that some
player with a charger got
insane collateral damage on us?! One shot with the E-Liter, and my team was wiped. We lost that Turf
War HARD.
